Quote from kut2k2:
So according to the dictionary, atheism and antitheism are synonyms. I guess that means apathy and antipathy are also synonyms. LOL
That's a good point.
Some theists apparently will instruct themselves literally by the dictionary, straight into contradiction.
Still I suppose they are used to doing that going by how, as they describe, it's the same way their religion makes them believe.

Arrow - you are missing the point. Typically atheists do no behave like Stu. Stu is a zealout. He interjects himself into religious threads as a matter of course. It is almost like he works for the church of atheism.
In other words...only you are allowed to interject yourself into religious threads.
But people who don't agree with what is said every time you do interject yourself into religious threads, is called a "turd" and a "zealot" ....as if you couldn't be either.
Quote from jem:
So if you have no belief you are not an atheist.
Ah... so a person can have no belief.
Well that should come as a revelation to at least 3 other religious "zealots" on this board who imagine people can't have.... no belief!!
Still begs the question; - so go on Jem, at least try to guess what that question might be..."So if you have no belief you are ........" what exactly ?!
"... you are not an atheist. " .... oh right, then someone with no belief is supposed to be what exactly.
A theist !?
No belief in Gods in Heavens, does not force anyone to have to conclude whether there is or there is not any such thing as a God, any more than no belief in Dragons in Attics forces anyone to conclude whether there is or there is not any such thing as a Dragon.
